Rooh Rang Kota Doria Wax Batik Suit (T+B+D) Rose Red

What makes this design stand out?

The kurta has white flowers set inside a square grid, a tidy, tiled look. The bottom is in the same red with small white buti, so you get one colour from top to toe, broken up only by the white motifs.

Is an all-red set too much for the office?

The white flowers break up the colour, so it reads lively rather than loud. For office and workwear, you can also wear the kurta with white pants. It's equally easy as everyday wear, on summer trips and at a kitty party or brunch.

How does the dupatta finish?

The dupatta is the same red with fringed tassel ends. It keeps the single-colour look going, and pinned on one shoulder it gives a neat, finished line. Being sheer Kota Doria, it adds colour without adding weight.

What size is each piece?

Top 2.4 to 2.5 metres, bottom 2.4 to 2.5 metres and dupatta 2.3 to 2.4 metres, all unstitched pure cotton Kota Doria. Share your preferred cut with your tailor, whether a straight or salwar-style bottom, before the fabric is cut.

Should the kurta be lined?

Kota Doria is sheer, so most people line the kurta with soft cotton. A lining also makes the white flowers in the grid stand out against a solid backing, and it helps the kurta hang smoothly.

How do I keep the red bright?

Wash it separately by hand with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry in shade, away from direct sun. Since it is hand-dyed, keep it apart from light clothes in the first few washes.
